Diagnostic potential of pericoronary adipose tissue mean attenuation for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease: a comparative analysis with the fat attenuation index
The novel PCAT<sub>MA</sub> measurement method based on non-fat threshold limitations has good feasibility and repeatability. PCAT<sub>MA</sub> may be more sensitive than the FAI in assessing changes in PCAT density resulting from early coronary artery inflammation, but it is not associated with plaque type.
